I'm all for lowering the median grade to around 2.6. There is an unbelievable amount of entitlement among my peers and I see it as one of the very large problems within American society today. I've seen multiple times where students will not go to class, play video games all day, and then complain about the two papers they have to write and how their professor is a "bitch" for failing them on a test, even though this professor gave an extension on one paper and already gives a generous curve for the entire class.
Competition is good. Separate the students who will work hard from the ones who feel entitled to be in college and get A's for no work.
